Caution:
Do not overload the tool; let it work at its own pace.

Always be aware of where the power lead is so that it does get cut. A good way to keep the lead under

Adjust the rear handle to a comfortable working position and calmly go over all the steps of your task in your
mind before beginning to cut.
